The Holy Imperial Republic of Pereiras is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 732 million Mergulhões enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centro Imperial. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mergulhão economy, worth 68.5 trillion Pilas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,553 Pilas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Pereiras, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pereiras's national animal is the Cusco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pereiras is ranked 101,171^st in the world and 621^st in Europe for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 144,211 Standard Monetary Units.
